---------------------

It is always best to plan ahead and here our some helpful tips:

HOTEL: Share a room, each room accommodates up to 4 adults. If you need a roommate to split costs, please contact Anneline at ahatutale@aol.com.

AIRFARE: Book your airline tickets to Omaha, Nebraska (OMA)! Remember: every Tuesday of the week, major airlines post their sales on the internet directly: American at www.aa.com; United at www.united.com; Northwest Airlines at www.nwa.com; Continental Airlines at www.continental.com; Delta Airlines at www.delta.com; or Southwest Airlines at www.southwest.com.

You can always check Yahoo.com. Travelocity.com, or Cheaptickets.com for the best going fare. If the fare is on a major airline, I would check those fares on their internet direct website to save on the "travel fee" that those other sites charge additionally. Plus, you may find a more flexible travel schedule than offered, at the same price. Of course, there is always www.priceline.com.
